More like 80% would be my guess. Hope I'm wrong.

oh you can be sure they will be told that it is safe.... and it is too!

it will be far safer with a big company standing guard...

they have far more resources to keep the hackers away.

but safe is in the eye of the beholder isnt it?

safe from a hacker, not safe from the dataminers and the government.

As it was.....so it will be. Do I trust the government? All we have to do is look at history, and know it repeats itself. I don't know what the solution is besides local.....local.....local. We need to localize everything.

Re: Goodbye Password, Hello SmartCard

Seems like just another step toward:

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name

Not good enough, Passwords and SmartCards are not the future.

The future is personal recognition, the building knows who you are and opens the door for you, the car opens when you approach it, the telephone or computer knows who you are, no need for passwords of SmartCards which can be forgotten or lost.
